Pac-12 picked a bad time to be at its best

Not bad for a conference no network wanted to pay. But enjoy your overpriced and unwatchable Northwestern and Indiana Big Ten games, Fox.  

The Pac-12 was 12-0 in Week 1 and is 13-0 overall, with No. 6 USC also claiming a win over San Jose State in Week 0.

Uiagalelei, a former five-star Clemson recruit, was 20-of-25 for 239 yards and five total touchdowns in a 42-17 route on Sunday.

It was just one of several blowouts at the hands of the Pac-12. Overall, the Pac-12 has outscored its opponents 604-244, an average score of 46.1-21.3.  

No. 15 Oregon's 81-7 win over FCS Portland State was the largest blowout, followed by USC's 66-14 demolition of Mountain West's Nevada. No. 10 Washington dismantled Boise State 56-19, which tied with Cal's 58-21 win over North Texas as the third-largest blowout in the Pac-12 in Week 1.

No. 14 Utah (vs. Florida) and unranked Colorado (vs. TCU) scored the only wins against Power Five opponents, with the Buffaloes' thrilling 45-42 win over No. 17 TCU being the only one against a ranked opponent. It was also tied for the closest margin of victory with Arizona State, which held on to beat FCS Southern Utah 24-21 on Saturday.

This season is the end of the Pac-12 as we've historically known it (if it doesn't fold entirely). At the end of the season, Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington are moving to the Big Ten; Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah are headed to the Big 12; and Stanford and Cal are going to the ACC.

The conference fell apart when it couldn't land an acceptable media rights deal. ESPN originally offered $30 million per school per year, which the conferences balked at, instead asking for $50 million.

Who could blame them based on Week 1's results?
